Today was last day of being an hvac technician........my doctor told me i cannot continue to work I my condition of colon cancer, 😢😢........the hard part is is that I have no insurance nor any source of income now, and my meds are very expensive in trinidad and tobago. The 2nd video i did that same repair in a mall and the 4th video where curtis was startled when the condenser came on I was in a funeral home and it scared me white, nearly fell off a ladder😂😂😂, I enjoyed my last day and to you curtis and my fellow technicians good luck in the field and be safe🎉😢 piece love and unity to all..........I have to plan out the rest of my life and see what is my next move...I live alone so i have no family help at all!!!!! Good luck to one and curtis blessings
Wish you the best. My wife died of Stage 4 Colon cancer as she refused to go to the doctor when it was curable. $77k in costs for one month of treatment and hospitization before passing on. No insurance either.
Really enjoy your videos. They have taught me a great deal on things I can and should be doing to keep my hvac maintained. It’s also shown me when I need a pro and what to look for with a pro. So wish you were in Jacksonville. 😂 seeing some of these questionable installations and repairs definitely gives me pause.
That's how it is when it gets hot I'll do one call and 3 more come in it's not so bad until 7 pm and I still have 5 on my list and calls still coming in
My day; Evaporator coil leak on 25y/o RV R22 system (condemned and told the guy not to waste either of our time and just upgrade the system) a fenwell ignition module failure on a gas furnace (replaced) Replaced 2 x 240v zone dampers for 2 x 24v dampers
Over here in Pa, we’re not that busy surprisingly since it hasn’t been warm, just a bunch of PTU’s. Hope you schedule free’s up soon to enjoy time to yourself!
probably the 5 failed and they wanted a call-back when the compressor portion went or motor replaced and they used whatever new cap they had on hand for warranty coverage. all of the motor warranties want to see a correct value cap on the invoice. they sure hodgepodge jammed it in there, lol
You wouldn’t be the consumer. Curtis is. You’d be his customer. He gives the prices. No different than asking Walmarts distributor to share their price to Walmart so that you can better understand their pricing structure.
@@sweetmeatmonty9011 I had my EPA certification when I worked in the automotive field and recently sold my bodyshop. I understand the cost associated with being a business man. Like Curtis, my shop was an independent shop and I had no problem recommending certain vehicles to my customers regarding reliability and repair cost. Customers appreciated this and it served me well over the years. All I'm saying is Curtis could communicate to the general public being on TH-cam what brands he would recommend based on his experience. There are a lot of brands out there with all the bells and whistles and end up being very expensive to repair once the warranty has expired. Sometimes keeping it simple is better!!!!
I saw an interesting tip from Mikey Pipes..even when a capacitor checks out ok, he shakes it, if the oil is shaking around, he replaces. I don’t know, looks like you had room in there for at least two more capacitors in boxes, coulda just added more..lol..
That place that I assume u were referring to about cleanliness was the taijmahall compared to majority of my customer base, in general I would say a lot of people live in filth .
On that first call, your head pressure is too low, wrap the condenser with a drop cloth and get your head up to 350 and i bet that suction line would have become beer can cold. With only 250 head on a 410A system, thats not enough pressure to push the refrigerant through the orfice so its normal to see high superheat like that unless you have a fan cycle control or its 90 plus degrees out.
When you were diagnosing the blower motor you plugged the connection back together and there was an electrical arc. Is that normal to happen for a good motor too?
Yikes...breaker turned off gives me nightmares. I still vision a lady coming out in lace ( nothing wrong with a good looking woman, but I'm married)....nothing wrong with the heatpump but...anyone been in the same situation and what did you do ?
I have a bad habit of trying to get all calls in one day its not possible I think its best to mute the phone at each call cause will drive you crazy and its hard to troubleshoot a crazy system
Did you notice what looked like water on the by the refrigerator you move on 1st call don’t let the homeowner say you cause it. Also you seem to have almost every run capacitor you need. Are you taking the voltage rating in account maybe you’re using 440 rated? Just curious ?
90 bucks an hour is low. We were at 250 an hour 2 years ago when I worked at a small 2 tech and one installer company. I understand it’s different where you live but we were still the cheapest in town. Unfortunately there was no money to be made because almost all calls were service contract calls because there main focus was selling new equipment. I like the way you run your business way better. Good job Curtis
Would sure like to meet the Hoosier that leaves the Capacitor inside the Box ? That’s beyond Lazy and there is NO valid explanation for Junking things up. 🤪👎

@@HVACGUY i can't stop crying, but thanks curtis, keep up in your quest for success and the little things you do that put a smile on someone's face

Best to you sir
@@raykrv6a i wish i had the money but I dont i am at stage 2
It's amazing to me how dirty some people live. I have been in foreign countries where the people lived way cleaner and THEY had dirt floors!
Alot of these are rentals, so that's to be expected.....
Four happy customers. Excellent service curtis 👌
great video tech🔥
Been crazy here in Phoenix. Doing 5 to 6 calls a day 🎉
Holy shit it they all could be that nice to get up stairs to 😊😊
Never a more true statement... when you get so busy you absolutely hit hi gear.. love you videos..
Hi Curtis 😊😊
Good morning!
The breaker box is behind a refrigerator and nearly in line with a receptacle? Nice
Good work Curtis, I thought on the last call ,you were like the fonz on Happy days , you bump it and it comes on !
Magic touch.
I’ve had a lot of crazy stuff like that happen. A lot of times when I get there it is working.
Really enjoy your videos. They have taught me a great deal on things I can and should be doing to keep my hvac maintained. It’s also shown me when I need a pro and what to look for with a pro.

I left my knee pad some where also LOL
Harbor freight has cheap kneel pads, don’t get bit on those live wires
wish we would push off work because of the rain, hate getting soaked. breaker behind the fridge... that can't be safe.

Your day mirrored mine. Easy blower motor changeout and a easily found 2 wire open circuit repair. Keep it rolling!
ONLY DIFFERENCE IS IT TOOK YOU A MONTH TO DO THOSE THREE CALLS
Damn CAP IN A BOX
An 80/5 being used for a 5, when the cap being used For compressor had a 5 on it.
Thank you for all your videos, they really help me out ALOT in the field, you are a master at your craft
probably the 5 failed and they wanted a call-back when the compressor portion went or motor replaced and they used whatever new cap they had on hand for warranty coverage.
all of the motor warranties want to see a correct value cap on the invoice. they sure hodgepodge jammed it in there, lol
Have you considered getting a sidekick slug? The Drain Addict has ratty.
I can’t see how hat would help me
Have you ever considered using the service pal system pipe doctor uses to help ease the chaos appointment numbers?
Four well done jobs Curtis, i hope you didn't get caught in that hail the size of a cricket ball, we seen over here in AU on our evening TV news 😵
It was around me locally, but I didn’t see it.
Get a awning which you can work under in the rain, they are collapsible so don’t take up to much room. Just a thought.
It would be helpful as a consumer watching these videos as to how much the parts cost on items being replaced. Enjoy your videos!!
Curtis Can’t Give Away ALL his Trade Secrets. 🤔
I purposely don’t go over that
Pass the EPA test and get certified and you will understand most of HVAC cost
You wouldn’t be the consumer. Curtis is. You’d be his customer. He gives the prices.
No different than asking Walmarts distributor to share their price to Walmart so that you can better understand their pricing structure.

Bet you wish all attics were as easy to access as the second call you showed
My brain was on a similar path.

breaker panel behind the refrigerator wow
Blocking the breaker panel is a code violation in my area. Doubt the landlord cares
How did you charge for the broken connector? Some AC guys would try to bump the bill up with bogus charges. It is good to see an honest AC guy.
❤
Do you ask customers if you can record? Just wondering how that works 😁
That place that I assume u were referring to about cleanliness was the taijmahall compared to majority of my customer base, in general I would say a lot of people live in filth .
I use deep creep to help get motor shaft out
It's saved me plenty of times
Curtis where do you get that capacitor strap? I'd like to get some of that for my van.
Today how many complaint Boss but you but you aur complaint can find out ham like your job thank you very much

Sir you need to hire some Good help...keep on keeping on !!
I have 3 ton HVAC I’m planning replace everything including thermostat which products I should purchase please send link all
Thanks
man what do i have to do to work for you?
Do the X - 13 motors last?
They are not very dependable
I worked both those rainy days, it always sucks
I get sent out in downpours
Yikes...breaker turned off gives me nightmares. I still vision a lady coming out in lace ( nothing wrong with a good looking woman, but I'm married)....nothing wrong with the heatpump but...anyone been in the same situation and what did you do ?
I have a bad habit of trying to get all calls in one day its not possible I think its best to mute the phone at each call cause will drive you crazy and its hard to troubleshoot a crazy system
maybe hire someone to answer the phone and or schedule for you

Everything I buy is rated for 440 or 370/440
@@HVACGUY very smart and wise of you.
I saw that liquid too.
@@David-lf2ne Hey David. Looked like that section was pretty cold. Curtis didn’t respond about when I ask him in comments ???? Glad you saw saw it too
@@David-lf2ne Hey my im sorry I thought you were talking about a different video. So sorry. You must be talking about when he move refrigerator
Easy Money lol
Take on another employee
Or just raise my prices
